Key Products and Technology Demos

Eye on Piracy

Today's sports content owners and pay-TV operators have high expectations when it comes to fighting piracy, particularly when it comes to live sports broadcasting. Illegal content streaming links must be removed in a short amount of time after the beginning of the broadcast or rights owners' revenue streams will be impacted. At SPORTEL, Viaccess-Orca will showcase its Eye on Piracy solution, which helps content owners and operators track, fight, and prove various types of piracy, such as Web streaming and peer-to-peer content redistribution, getting the links removed within the first few minutes of broadcast.

A new "Snapshots" feature has been added to the Eye on Piracy service to capture illegally redistributed video streams. This new capability enables content and rights owners to collect evidence on piracy, in real time, to build legal cases in the most efficient manner possible. During a live demo at SPORTEL, attendees can see how the Eye on Piracy solution helps operators rapidly take down TV content from illegal sites and eliminate the redistribution of live events, such as major sports matches.

Virtual Reality Solution

At SPORTEL, Viaccess-Orca will showcase an end-to-end virtual reality technology solution -- created with partners Harmonic and Video Stitch -- that allows content owners and pay-TV operators to deliver premium content, including live sports, in 360 degrees leveraging their video infrastructure (including streaming, UHD encoding etc.). By enabling a more engaging, personalized, and immersive television experience for viewers, the virtual reality ecosystem revolutionizes the way that people enjoy premium sports content. The SPORTEL demonstration will feature a consumer-grade head-mounted display connected to a smartphone that will decode Ultra HD 2160p50 HEVC Main 10.

Through the pre-integrated ecosystem, content owners and operators can accelerate the deployment of a fully immersive television experience. Compatible with readily available smartphones, the solution will make virtual reality become a reality for viewers sooner rather than later.
